105-Year-Old Woman Requests Hunky Firefighters for Birthday Party
By Joi-Marie McKenzie
A British woman had one wish for her 105th birth- day: She wanted fire- fighters to climb through her window.
Ivena Smailes, known as Ivy in the senior home where she lives, got her wish last Wednesday. Thanks to workers at Addison Court Care Home in Crawcrook, England, five firefighters from the Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service joined Smailes -- and one even climbed through the window.
"It was great! Out of this world," Smailes told ABC News of her birthday party.
Debra Carter, a worker at the facility in Addison, helped plan the party, which was also attended
by 40 of Smailes' friends and family.
Carter said she wasn't surprised Smailes
requested firemen since she's "got an absolutely great sense of humor."
"[Ivy] sends us little chal-
lenges for her birthday every year and this year she asked for firemen," Carter recalled. "We had the local fire brigade come ... through the third floor balcony window. They were more than happy to help!"
Carter said party guests also enjoyed cake, dancers and singers, who per- formed her favorite songs by Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra and Al Johnson.
"[Ivy] had a ball. She loved it," Carter added. "She's already said that next year she wants to meet Prince Harry."

Thefts Of Unlocked Cars With Keys Inside Becoming “Trend” Police Say
ELMHURST, Ill. (WLS) -- Elmhurst police are warning residents take their keys out and lock their cars after an uptick in car thefts.
Calling it a "new crime trend," police say thieves are stealing unlocked vehicles with keys or key fobs left inside. Over 100 vehicles have been stolen and more than 200 vehicles have been burglarized, police said.
In most reported cases, the stolen vehicles have been identified as high- end unlocked cars parked overnight in resi- dential driveways, police said.
"This crime trend has been occurring since May in targeted areas close to major highways. Cities that have been affected include Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Wilmette, Highland Park, Glencoe, Glenview, Winnetka, Northbrook, Deerfield, Hinsdale, Bolingbrook, Naperville, and most recently Elmhurst, where two vehicles were stolen," an Elmhurst news release said.
Elmhurst police are alert- ing residents of the importance of locking car and garage doors. Leaving keys, key fobs, wallets, or any other valuables in your car
puts your car at a high risk of being stolen, police said. Installing motion sensor lights in driveways and the front of homes is recommend- ed as a deterrent, police said.
"If the thieves did not find the keys, they stole what they could," Elmhurst Police Chief Michael Ruth said.
Clarendon Hill police sent out a similar alert, saying "suspected gang
members from the city" are targeting the sub- urbs. Clarendon Hills police say six cars in Hinsdale and one in their town have been stolen.
Residents in Glen Ellyn were also warned by police to secure their vehicles after a rash of car thefts.
In most cases, the cars were unlocked with the keys inside. Thieves also used garage openers
inside the cars to get into homes and search for the keys.
The crimes usually hap- pened during overnight hours, with purses and wallets also taken.
